FO: Cabled Scarf (FO=”Finished Object”)

Posted by teejtc on September 27th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting

I usually try to keep some kind of a “brainless” knitting project in the car for those times when I’m waiting for someone or stuck at a train stop.  Since January, that project has been a cabled scarf from a book entitled “The Knitting Man(ual),” but I’ve been getting sick of it so decided to […]

Habitat Finished

Posted by teejtc on September 16th, 2008 filed in Religious, Knitting & Tatting

Despite a few problems, I did manage to finish BrooklynTweed’s pattern for Habitat last night!  It’s a great pattern and if you don’t know Jared’s work - check it out.  His knitting is incredible; his patterns are all awesome, and the pictures — every picture on his blog is worthy of publication.  He’s my knitting […]

I’m not one of those people

Posted by teejtc on September 6th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting, Blogs, Websites

I’m not one of those people who wins things all the time.  You know, the people who put their names into contests at grocery stores and shopping malls and always seem to be winning TVs and DVDs.  That isn’t not me - I do occasionally put my name in those kinds of things, but never […]

Meanness isn’t a virtue.

Ok.  Politics aren’t really my thing.  I honestly don’t believe my vote matters.  (You really don’t have to argue if you disagree, I sincerely doubt you’ll change my mind.)  If, however, I were one of those wealthy people politics actually cares about or one of the powerful people politics tries to appease, I would make […]

My New Lucet

Posted by teejtc on August 17th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting, misc.

I figured some of you might not know what a lucet looks like.  Well, here it is:

You see it surrounded by several lucet cords.. The curl that extends on the right-hand side of the picture is made with a double-strand of worsted weight yarn.  The bigger “chunk” on the left-hand side is a chord made […]

JJ worked today so Sophia and I had the perfect opportunity to head down the the Allegan fairgrounds for the Michigan Fiber Festival (warning, their website isn’t very good).  I attended the festival a couple of years ago but didn’t attend last year so I was anxious to see how it has changed over the […]

Michigan Fiber Festival (Allegan)

Posted by teejtc on August 7th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting

I don’t know much about the few of you that actually read this blog  (other than the couple who comment on a regular basis and have blogs of their own - which I follow).  I think, however, that those of you who may consider attending a fiber festival tend to live too far away to […]

Isn’t the Internet a Funny Thing?

Posted by teejtc on June 13th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting

I have two friends who live half a country away from me.  I think I’ve met one of them in person once, and that was several years ago.  Other than that, our entire relationship is online.  We read each others’ blogs; we communicate occasionally via e-mail.  We’ve even talked on the phone a couple of […]
